Non-GAAP cost of revenue of the Company’s teleradiology services for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.1 million, as compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting in a non-GAAP gross profit of $ 0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which represents a gross profit margin of approximately 39% on a non-GAAP basis. The Company’s non-GAAP gross profit from its AI solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $0.0 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of $21.7 million, compared to a net loss of $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, largely due to expenses related to the consolidation of Nanox.AI and USARAD with the Company, and the acquisition of the assets of MDWEB, an increase in our research and development expenses and an increase in our general and administrative expenses, which was mitigated by a decrease in our sales and marketing expenses.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $6.8 million, as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $4.1 million was mainly due to the consolidation of Nanox.AI with the Company and the balance due to the development of the multi-source Nanox.ARC and the Nanox.CLOUD, including increased R&D headcount, costs related to the ongoing regulatory approval process and share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $1.1 million, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of $0.6 million was mainly due to a decrease of approximately of $0.3 million in share-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $11.3 million, as compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $3.1 million was mainly due to the consolidation of Nanox.AI and USARAD with the Company and the acquisition of the assets of MDWEB, an increase in the Company’s head count in connection with the expansion of the Company’s management team and the overall organization infrastructure, an increase in the Company’s legal fees due to the SEC inquiry and class-action litigation as described in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on May 2, 2022.

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.8 million, as compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the relocation of the Company’s fabrication facility in Korea to its permanent location and change in the Company’s contingent earnout liability.

Non-GAAP net loss applicable to ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $12.0 million, as compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to expenses resulting from the consolidation of Nanox.AI and USARAD with the Company and the acquisition of the assets of MDWEB, and an increase in the Company’s research and development expenses and its general and administrative expenses. Non-GAAP cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.1 million, as compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Non-GAAP research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $5.3 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $0.8 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $6.1 million, as compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is provided in the financial results that are part of this press release. The difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures above is mainly attributable to amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, secondary offering expenses and legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC inquiry

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses adjusts (as applicable) for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses, secondary offering expenses and legal fees in connection with class-action litigation and the SEC inquiry. The Company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shares, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP marketing expenses and non-GAAP general and administrative expenses should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP RESULTS
(U.S. dollars in thousands (except per share data))

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company uses non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders. Non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders is net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expenses, legal fees with connection to class-actions litigation and SEC matter and secondary offering expenses. The Company believes that separate analysis and exclusion of the one-off or non-cash impact of the above reconciling items adds clarity to the constituent parts of its performance. The Company reviews this non-GAAP financial measure together with GAAP financial measures to obtain a better understanding of its operating performance. It uses the non-GAAP financial measure for planning, forecasting and measuring results against the forecast. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measure is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance.
